Your District/Borough (D/B) Council Grant Officer will be the main point of contact at this stage.

Your D/B council Grants Officer will:

• review the Occupational Therapist (OT) recommendations
• decide if the recommended adaptations are reasonable and practicable, and consider if they are necessary and appropriate.
• explain the Disabled Facilities Grant (DFG) process, limits, amounts available and criteria
• make sure you are happy with the proposed adaptations
• check home ownership and gain your consent for the work.

You should contact your local council with any questions in this stage.

For more information see Step 2 - family consent or Step 3 - funding.
